Michael Phelps is now officially the most successful athlete in Olympic history. He now owns 11 gold medals after winning two golds today— one in the 200m butterfly, another in the 4×200m freestyle relay. He also set two new world records. Tomorrow night he could tie Mark Spitz’s record.
I do find it interesting that even though the media is obssessed with Michael Phelps getting eight gold medals, this is NOT Michael Phelps’ goal. It is very difficult, though, to not want him to set that record.
